Det var först tänkt att Anderson Silva (34-6) skulle vara coach för TUF: Brazil 4, men efter hans positiva drogtest fick han inte vara coach längre och ersattes istället av Nogueira-bröderna, Antonio Rodrigo ’Minotauro’ Nogueira (34-9-1-1) och Antonio Rogerio ’Minotoro’ Nogueira (21-6).
’Minotauro’ berättar att det var jobbigt att ersatta Anderson Silva.

”We were in a difficult situation, especially because of how Anderson left,” berättade ”Minotauro”. ”To go there and replace the biggest idol of our sport and continue his job with the fighters Anderson Silva picked… We had to change the plane’s fuel during the flight. They made the whole preparation before we got there. It was tough.”
Nogueira-bröderna fick beskedet om ändringen på fyra dagars notis och berättar att det var svårt att ersätta Anderson för att Nogueira-bröderna ser upp till honom väldigt mycket.
”They told us four days before and it was a big surprise for all the athletes on the show,” Rogerio Nogueira said. ”They announced the change, Anderson left and we entered the gym to coach his team. It was a tense moment. We have Anderson Silva as a great idol, so it was hard to replace him.”
Nogueira berättar att dom fick motivera sina tävlande fighters mycket mer nu när Anderson inte skulle coacha mer.
”They were crestfallen,” she said. ”They felt it a lot, so we had to work even harder to motivate them, and that’s why I bring Rogerio with me.”
Maricio ’Shogun’ Rua (22-10) tycker att det var tråkigt att Anderson var tvungen att hoppa av, men är nöjd med att det blev Nogueira-bröderna ersatte.
”I was sad that Anderson Silva was there for one week and then left,” sa Rua. ”It’s not fair that I have to coach against Rodrigo and Rogerio now [laughs], but it brings the show back up. Anderson Silva is our idol, a legend of the sport. Everybody wanted to see him on TUF, but they replaced him with good names. They are two legends of the sport. I was sad when Anderson Silva left because of the commission, but I was happy when Rodrigo and Rogerio entered the show.”
